DOJ: Lying on Match.com needs to be a crime

Quote

The U.S. Department of Justice is defending computer hacking laws that make it a crime to use a fake name on Facebook or lie about your weight in an online dating profile at a site like Match.com.

In a statement obtained by CNET that's scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, the Justice Department argues that it must be able to prosecute violations of Web sites' often-ignored, always-unintelligible "terms of service" policies.

The law must allow "prosecutions based upon a violation of terms of service or similar contractual agreement with an employer or provider," Richard Downing, the Justice Department's deputy computer crime chief, will tell the U.S. Congress tomorrow.

It already is law. DOJ is just applying it in a way it was never intended, in a way the language does not support, and exceeding their authorized scope. But hey, it's the DOJ, so this is business as usual.

Well, I guess they'll have to build a lot of new prisons for women.

As long as they're hot, allowed to mingle, and there's video, what's the downside? :):ph34r:

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

If they're "hot" they're probably not lying about their weight! ;)

Please alert us when the DOJ decides to prosecute someone about being less than truthful about their weight on Match.com.

The Government "running guns" to Mexico is almost as bad as providing weapons to Iran.

What a surprise, looks like a mucho problemo for this Mexican gun runner.

sure- they're just saying they're 99 instead of 105. And then there's age, of course. And how many children they want or already have.

(not that the men are innocent here, either)

Oh, I think the women who are "hot" (more accurately the women who think they are hot) are more likely than most to lie about their weight! The more you care about being hot, the more likely you are to want to seem hot to people on line.
